Ah memories. When I was a student nurse at the Infirmary, we used to visit Yates's Wine Lodge to buy their Australian white - foul stuff, but only ten bob a bottle and virtually guaranteed oblivion! I can well remember my friend Judith, still in uniform having just come off duty, leaning against the wall in the nurses home, swigging from a bottle of the awful stuff. As the level in the bottle went down, so did the level of Judith against the wall!

It was Julia Foster, Lionel Morton's wife, who had the boutique. We were talking about it a few weeks ago (she's an antique dealer now), and she has very fond memories of Blackburn.
